American Troubadour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American Troubadour was the 1997 British 2-CD set that chronologized the five albums and various non-album singles that singer/songwriter Phil Ochs released on A&M Records between 1967 and 1974. Released in the same year as Farewells & Fantasies, the three-CD set that chronologized Ochs' career on both Elektra and A&M, there are still many reasons to own American Troubadour, namely the inclusion of the five post-1970 sides that, for whatever reason, did not appear on the box set.
